El Pampero Cine has always challenged conventional ideas about how films are made and who gets to make them. In this Director’s Talk, Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu reflect on the collective practices, artistic influences and alternative production models that have shaped their work.

16
Friday October
+ Guest
11:30 Kinepolis 9

What does it mean to make a film without fixed roles, hierarchies or a single author at the helm? Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu discuss El Pampero Cine’s collaborative practice, alternative production models and the question of who actually makes a film. From the collective theatre practice of Piel de Lava to the fantastic literature of Borges, Bioy Casares and Silvina Ocampo, literature, theatre, music and cinema constantly flow into one another. How do these cross-pollinations shape their way of telling stories and thinking about authorship?

This Director's Talk will be held in English.
